Ingredients

• 1 cup Sushi rice
• 1.25 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 6 ounces Fresh salmon fillet
• 3 ounces Cream cheese
• 1 whole Avocado
• 3 sheets Nori sheets
• 0.25 cup Water (for hand-dipping)
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar (for hand-dipping)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

Step 2

Combine the rice and 1.25 cups of water in a rice cooker or pot. Cook the rice according to the rice cooker instructions or bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes until the water is absorbed.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, combine 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar, the sugar, and salt. Heat gently until the sugar and salt dissolve. Remove from heat and let it cool.

Step 4

Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl. Pour the vinegar mixture over the rice and mix thoroughly using a spatula, being careful not to mash the rice. Let it cool to room temperature.

Step 5

Slice the salmon fillet into thin strips, approximately 1/4 inch thick.

Step 6

Cut the cream cheese into thin strips.

Step 7

Peel and pit the avocado, then slice it into thin strips.

Step 8

Prepare a small bowl with the water and 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar for dipping your hands to prevent sticking.

Step 9

Place a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface and lay a sheet of plastic wrap or parchment paper over it to keep it clean.

Step 10

Place a sheet of nori onto the mat, shiny side down.

Step 11

Dip your fingers in the vinegar water mixture. Spread about 1 cup of sushi rice evenly over the nori, leaving a 1/2-inch border at the top edge.

Step 12

Gently press the rice to stick it to the nori, being careful not to over-compress it.

Step 13

Lay strips of salmon, cream cheese, and avocado along the center of the rice.

Step 14

Use the bamboo mat to carefully roll the sushi, starting from the lower edge and using a gentle but firm pressure to make a tight roll. Press gently to seal the edge.

Step 15

Using a sharp knife dipped in the vinegar water, slice the roll into 6-8 even pieces.

Step 16

Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to make more rolls.

Step 17

Serve immediately with optional soy-free sauce or condiments of your choice.
